In 2013, the United States Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that eliminated the patenting of genes, because they are inventions of nature, not humans. 1 The lawsuit focused on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene patents that enabled Myriad Genetics to become the virtual sole provider for testing of hereditary risk for breast and ovarian cancer in the United States. In response to this ruling, a number of laboratories entered the market to test for cancer risks. But rather than limit testing to the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, these providers developed panel testing for a number of genes that might convey germline risk of cancer, when mutated. Subsequently, these tests were rapidly introduced into clinical practice without prior clinical validation studies.An advisory highlighting a number of issues that should be addressed to aid counseling for gene panel testing for cancer risks was published in 2014 by many of the authors of this work. Concerns raised included definition of a target population, content for gene panels, risk assessment, and interpretation and communication of results. 2 The following year, a separate panel of authors published another advisory reviewing the difficulties in conferring a cancer risk for certain variants as well as assigning risks to other rare variants. 3 Satisfactorily addressing the issues would establish the clinical validity of gene panels for cancer risk.
